Nintendo Offers Free Repair Services to Anyone in Area Impacted by Deadly Earthquake
Free repair offer comes in conjunction with a donation to the Kumamoto earthquake relief fund effort.
Following the devastating Kumamoto earthquake in Japan, video game giant Nintendo has pledged to provide free repair services to those affected by the disaster. The offer, announced on the company's official social media platform, extends until February 1, 2027, and is intended to assist individuals within the earthquake-impacted regions.
In addition to this generous gesture, Nintendo has also committed 50 million yen to the relief fund effort, as reported by the Japanese Red Cross Society. This act of kindness comes in the wake of previous support from The Pokémon Company, which donated 100 million yen, and Sony, which has allocated 50 million yen through both a Save the Children Japan-relief fund and the Japanese Red Cross Society.
The Kumamoto earthquake, which struck southern Japan on July 28, 2026, claimed at least 38 lives and left over 120 people injured.
